Interviewer: What should an applicant wear to the interview?Giant Eagle Stock Clerk: Nothing really dressy. Khakis and a polo is good for that because it’s not a really major job. They know it. It’s like your first job.

Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process?Giant Eagle Stock Clerk: Back when I got hired, which was four years ago, the application was over the phone. Now, it’s online, so I don’t really know what the difference is now. But it was really easy and good. When I got hired, they didn’t have anything open, so I had to continuously call them, which was of my own regard – they didn’t tell me to – just keep waiting until they had something open.

Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?Giant Eagle Stock Clerk: For that interview, it was: “What previous experience do you have, if any?”, “How can you be fit for this job”, “What do you think is involved with it?”, stuff like that.

Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?Giant Eagle Stock Clerk: That I had previous work experience and that I was also trying really hard to get the job. So, they noticed that I was trying and not just trying to get some random job.

Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment?Giant Eagle Stock Clerk: My advice would be to be ready to set yourself apart from everyone. Come in swinging. You want to be better than everyone else, not like cocky-wise, but try to be better.
